Having two document sets in one index, "separated" by filter query.

[Achim Domma <do...@procoders.net>]

Hi,

I have two document sets, both having the same schema. On set is the larger reference set (lets say a few hundred thousand documents) and the smaller set is some user generated content (a few hundreds or thousands). In most cases, I just want to search on the larger reference sets but some functionality also works on both sets.

Is the following assumption correct?

I could add a field to the schema which defines what type a document is (large set or small set). Now I configure two search handlers. For one handler I add a filter query, which filters on the just defined type field. If I use this handler in my application, I should only see content from the large set and it should be impossible to get results from the small set back.

cheers,
Achim

Sounds correct - you probably want to use an invariant parameter in
solrconfig.xml, something along the lines of:

<lst name="invariants"> <str name="fq">docset:0</str> </lst>

Where docset is the new field you add to the schema to determine which set
a document belongs to. You might also consider adding a newSearcher warming
query that includes this fq so that the filter gets cached everytime you
open a new searcher.
